MON was annoying, frustrating and at times unfathomable but we were very rarely thought of as a push over.

Even though I wasnt a MON fan during his time I have to agree with this point. The belief and atmosphere he brought to the starting 11 at the start of a game was great and sorely missed

I feel he played a game of call my bluff with Lerner and back himself into a corner so had to quit. PLus our expectations were higher so more money would have been needed. Sunderland may say no money but stay in the prem.

I used to have a soft spot for Sunderland, now i will hate every single goal they score for that little pricks celebration on teh touch line.

I wasnt of fan of his during his stay at villa, but the way he left us just topped it off. Meant we couldnt bring in a proper replacement or plan anything. One of lifes biggest arseholes

Player manager and LMA manager were huge addictions for me.

Yes! I remember thinking LMA manager was the most futuristic and realistic football game that could ever be made. Lost many hours on that

Ultimate Soccer Manager. The 'manager' bit was a bit misleading. You could upgrade the stadium and change the prices at the food and merch stands

IIRC you could bribe managers to let you win aswell

On LMA you were also part time architect, designing the ground and ordering renovations!

Thanks to the editing choices and music selection that video is one of the most terrifying and creepy videos I have ever seen

Im crying with laughter as its perfect for Birmingham, its like the worlds worst/ most disappointing drug trip. God I love Birmingham

Bloody hell Gareth that looks **** amazing! Almost worth heading back to the UK to have!

Willy Mackay does loads of deals involving the french league and with Beye having played there before it seems a no brainer he will go back

Ive had a lot of one night stands and a fair few f*ck buddies (some of them probably though they were my girlfriend and i never clarified the issue) and tbh it just became normal. I had a girlfriend for 5 and a half years (through college and uni) and when that ended i was 21 and had no idea about other women and even if i could pull. The next 3 years descended into a bit of a lads adventure along with my best pals.

I enjoyed it greatly and I wont pretend I was always sensible. (I had a few dodgy moments but nothing the Dr couldnt sort out for me). I have some great stories and memories to go along with the deeds and the evenings spent playing the game.

Some of the sex was awful, some of it was incredible. The bragging to the lads was a big part of it at first but I soon found I was actually hooked on the 'game' and the psychology of the chase. I liked making these girls like me, sad I know and ive realised it now. Girls commented how I never seemed to be a creep or chatting them up and when they found out my 'number' they were alwasy shocked. I seemed to just like observing the social interactions and figuring out how to get what others couldnt.

3 months ago i met a girl whilst still just playing the game and fell in love with her almost instantly. The sex is different and better for a whole set of reasons and I actually remember why I liked being in a relationship all those years ago.

I wouldnt go back to how I was for all the tea in chna but at the same time I wouldnt change what ive done

Sine meeting my girlfriend she has shown me some books her males friends have been reading in the US to help them get laid or one night stands. They are bloody laughable!!

was one book called "The Game"?

I have shed my royal oats over the last 4 years and feel the same as you, very happy with what I have with my GF and prefer it over the playing around.

Have to also say that not trying it on with a girl has got me laid so many times but never figured out whether it was because I was non threatening with no expectations or whether it was because they wondered why I had not tried it on so instigated it to see.

Yeah teh game was particularly dreadful!

My 2 rules to remember are

1) Every girl is different! Just like managing people at work and friendships, you have to work out their psychology. Discreetly watching someones interactions with their friends will give away enough hints generally to what approach is needed. The quicker you do this the sooner you get laid. (this is tied into my theory why ugly/old rich guys get laid with beautiful women, I do not believe its always for the money but thats another story)

2) The one thing most girls share in cmmon is an appreciation or attraction towards serendipity. DO NOT make it feel like you are chatting them or or approaching them, it must feel natural

Dante, as for makingt he first move I always try and make it happen during something else. I felt a bit staged if we were just sitting there then leaning over. When the girl arrives give her a kiss on the cheeck, and a quick hug then start conversation. Remember shes a person so she'll feel nervous or awkward too probably. Put it all at ease and just chat. I then like to hold off from too much affetion, build suspense. Then maybe when youve had dinner or whatever find a time where you can be doing something together, maybe the washing up for example and half way through kiss her on the neck from behind. Itll surprise her and go from there

Haha yeah good point it would be no issue herein korea but i can just seem some old dear steppin to her death on the first day back in the uk

I got on the wrong train....oh wait!

Holy shit!

Jesus H. Christ that is immense.

Theres more about it on their site http://www.priestmangoode.com/

Yeah its Willy Mackay, hes taken loads of 'star' names to Doncaster for this season. Apaarentyl hes taking no fee, he thinks he can use his contacts to bring in cheap good players, get them prooteed then get seriously involved with the club

Also, this was immense

Playing entire world cups over and over until I could win it with Greece!

Player manager and LMA manager were huge addictions for me.

I used to play them on the playstation whilst playing championship manager on my pc at the same time!!

Yeah I umderstand the fea rof being misunderstood or her talking it badly, but ive found if you dont talk about stuff it just bursts out at some random point over something little and I end up walking out for what seems a random reason. Maybe plan out what you want to say so it doesnt sound too over the top.

The meeting your mates is just a safety thing an dpossibly as she doesnt trust her own judgment. Do it and then reassure her that she was right all along and that thres nothing to fear.

With my current gf I had to say that I sometimes felt judged by her past bfs mistakes or that their mistakes were already strikes against me just for being another man. Talking about it made it a lot better and made me feel a lot calmer and securer about things

Have you spoke to her about this? If you mention that sometimes youre worried about this and thats its not a huge deal but something for her to bear in mind it wil ake things a lot easier. Though she is probably feeling very fragile and scared about things at the moment you need her to understand that in some smaller ways you are too. Talk it over and be as open as possible and liste to her fears. If she cant accept, understand and sympathise with who you honestly are theres no point anyhow.

Like B6 said shes probably got an agenda so it could end very badly. It could end up like this

Than again maybe thats your thing

Oh Tomzep, id love to know what you were looking for when you stumbled on that picture :winkold:

I suspect he was looking through his gap-year visit to Bratislava snaps.

Whats worry is that even though that not my picture, looking through some of the lads trips photos its not too far off!

I dont think that classes as useless! Thats bloody amazing! Or maybe Im just too much of a geek and need to get out more

I just remember the incredible amount of shit it caused after so ive decided its a no go with the new misses

I'd offer him myself for the 1 million instead.

Brilliant! I can just picture you in a nice nightie right now!

As for the proposal no way would I do this, never going to end well. Im happy with what I have so the money wouldnt change much

I have also turned down a girlfriends mate joining us....I know it sounds incredible but previous experience taught me it brings nothing but trouble

On my recent trip to the DMZ between North and South Korea. I was expecting a very serious and reflective day. The photo offers evidence to the contrary

Ive just seen that Sporting Kansas are through to the eastern final. When living in Toronto a few months back I got to watch them, a dreadful side. I have no idea how they got that far unless the standard is that bad.

Like B6 said shes probably got an agenda so it could end very badly. It could end up like this

If you can keep it to just sex then hell yeas go for it. However if you know emotions will get stirred up and feelings will be unerthed and involved walk away. Be wise about it. Ive hooked up with exs afterwards and it has worked but there is one I would never ever do it with as my feelings would get challenged and theres a possibility hers could and it gets messy. Theres plenty of opportunity for casual sex with the risk

Sounds to me as if you know it will stir up feelings and questions so Id avoid it, but just my opinon

Terrible news. RIP Paddy, Holte ender in the sky

We can all learn from his positivity and outlook

Just the type of country you want hosting the world cup

Yeah, because the Al-Sadd players are the ones hosting the world cup.

I was under the impression they were qatari champions and ambassadors for their country there?
